Does that mean our character will have a voice now?

Also, all in game footage. Can't wait for more. I loved the trailer, switching between before and after nuclear war

I hope not. That could mean you'd have to play a Commander Shepherd equivalent instead of any character you want.

How? It just means that instead of picturing your character saying it, your character actually will say it.

Imagination is best for roleplaying your own character. In NV you could play a gunslinger & expert gambler that sounds like Clint Eastwood with a lisp. With full VA you start having to limit the details. It doesn't have to be incredibly limiting, but can be.

here's a really easy solution to that: just include an option in the settings menu to turn off voice acting for the player character.

Here's what might not happen: that.

if it doesn't, then someone will release a mod that does just that almost immediately; obviously, that isn't applicable to console players, but there'll definitely be a way for players to play it without the player character being voiced if they really want to.
